School Boat Club, in the recent regatta, was
in the city to- day. When asked by re-
porter of the GAZETTE what he thought
about the action of the Richmond club dur
ing and since the regatta, he replied that
they were fairly and badly beaten, and al
though they were big men in size, they did
not know how TO take their defeat like men.
He said that the condition of the water at
the start and during the race was good, and
that at the finish his boat was perfectly dry.
He also stated that in his opinion the action
of the Richmond club in stopping on their
way TO the start and bailing out their boat,
was done for effect. as his crew did not find
it necessary TO do any such thing

LEAD AS A MEDICINE.

james Rake Takes About Four Pounds
of shot for Asthma, and Comes Near
Dying.
FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 23.-Somc weeks
ago James Rake, resident Of this city,
was suffering greatly from an attack Of
asthma, and consulted one Of his friends
as to remedy. The friend was q
painter by profession, and believed in
the curative powers of lead in any form.
So he advised Rake to take few
doses of shot. Acting upon this advice
Rake commenced to take three spoonfuls
of shot per day, and kept it up for three
weeks, having taken altogether about four
pounds of ordinary bird-shot. At the end
of three weeks the pains from the lead poi
soning became SO great that a physician
was called in and he found Rake almost
dead. Morphine was administered to alle-
viate the pain, and he is now resting easy,
but DR.. James says his recovery is doubt
full. The remedy is certainly far worse
than the disease in this case.

Novel Torpedo Boat.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-A working
model of torpedo boat of novel design
was exhibited to the members Of tho
House Naval Committee yesterday by tho
inventor, General Berdan. The boat is in
tended to do effective service in cases
where other forms of torpedo have failed
that is, where the craft attacked is pro-
tected by network of chains suspended be-
yond the hull by spars. The model is that
of a vessel $50 feet in length, 20 feet in
breadth and 16 feet in depth, and intended
to attain speed Of "a $40 knots an hour.
A feature of this craft consists of pair
of brass tubes arranged vertically on the
sides and opening downward, capable Of
firing torpedoes containing two hundred
pounds of dynamite or other high explo-
sives.

BORN WITHOUT EYES.
Natures Strange Freak With an
Unfortunate Indiana Infant.


Brazil, I'M, Feb. 25.-September 8, 1885,
was born to william and Anna Armstrong,
Of Coal City, near the Clay Comfy line OF
Owen County, q daughter, perfect In all
other physical respects, but eyeless. The
external parts Of the eye, the ella and the
eyelids are perfect; but the eyeball is en-.
tirely wanting. The eyelids are closed
normally, never opening voluntarily, but
they may be separated with apparently
little effort. The shedding Of tears,
when crying, indicates the presence and
normal action of the lachrymal glands.
There is no defect in any other organ Of
sense, either structural OF functional. At
birth she weighed eight and half pounds,
being smaller than any of her brothers
and sisters-she Is the sixth and youngest
child. For six months following her birth
she matured slowly, retaining the appear
ance of newborn babe. Nellie, for this
is the child's name, is developing as rap
idly as is consistent with the degree Of
physical exercise her blindness permits her
to take. She can not walk, but by the aid
Of chair she manages to move around the
room. Her parents do not encourage her
in walking, humoring her inclination, and
recognizing possible danger from ac-
cidents. Her appetite, digestion and health
are good and exceptionally free from dis
ease. No defect or ailment manifests
itself in any other part of the body as she
develops. When but few days old Nell
lie betrayed a stong appreciation for the
light by turning her face toward the win
dow or open door. Her sense Of touch Is
so acute that she is able to distinguish the
different members of the family in this
way. She eagerly grasps hand
that touches her face or person,
and, caressing it, gives expression
to affectionate recognition. She can not
talk, but utters sounds belonging to chill
dren Of a younger age. She is wakeful Of
nights, sleeping only in the daytime. She
scarcely ever cries, but, on the contrary,
is playful and cheerful. She will sit for
hours on little mat on the floor, content
edly engaged with her playthings, Of which
she has quite collection, showing marked
appreciation for trifles, among which is q
common rubber hair-pin, which she has
treasured for nearly year. She will oc-
cupy her cradle at times, and what is much
better than most children will do, she
takes pleasure in rocking herself If the
cradle chances to come in contact with the
wall or other obstruction, she will in her
own way make an emphatic appeal to havf
things set right.

of the sun and moon on the earth.
